Larry Fitzgerald said sixth-round WR Ryan Swope has missed practice time at OTAs due to lingering concussion issues.Anytime we hear the word "concussion" associated with Swope, it's going to raise a red flag. He reportedly had four of them at Texas A&M, causing his draft stock to fall. It's a major concern that Swope is having lingering issues five months after the college season ended.

Re: This is why I was scared of drafting Texas A&M WR Ryan Swope

Sad to hear the kid is having those kinds of medical issues. Hopefully he can recover and have a good career. He was a great college player.

Once you have had multiple concussions like Swope has had, the next ones come easier and easier. He has Austin Collie/Jahvid Best written all over him.

I hope I am wrong, but I don't think so.

Said the same thing leading up to the draft. Wanted absolutely no part of him.
